Everything was better than expected. Awesome hosts, view, location, amenities. We are very pleased with this choice for our first family trip to the big island.

The condo was very clean and nicely appointed. They even provided a cooler, beach chairs, beach towels, a boogie board and pool noodle for guests to use. The location views are spectacular. It was very close to shopping and restaurants on Alii drive. Great place to stay!

The room was adequate...wasnt as I had expected from the online description. Was expecting a more updated kitchen, the sofa smelled, but the views were great. MY MAIN DISAPPOINTMENT WAS THE BUGS THAT CAME OUT ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER AT NIGHT

What a great place to spend a few days! The condo has an amazing view and is located so close to eateries and shopping that we didn’t have to drive much. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus. The bed was comfy and the lanai was a great spot to just soak up the vibes! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This property is in an amazing location. Right on the water and can listen to the waves and watch boogie boarding. It is a short walk to pubs and shops, restaurants. The pool is amazing and heated which is a plus. Even in the warm weather a heated pool is perfect. Everyone at the condo was so friendly so we had a lot of fun conversations. We BBQ’d several times so that was convenient but the BBQ’s on site took a long time to heat up so that was a bit of a nuisance. I think they might need an update. Our hosts were very good. They checked in to make sure all was satisfactory. The condo is very well stocked, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and a lot of dishes and utensils and spices. Every thing you need. I honestly think this is the best condo to rent. Highly recommend

Very nice place, clean and spacious. Amenities were great and the place was stocked nicely. Beautiful ocean views and loved the area in general. Property managers went out of their way to ensure I received my prescription that I left behind at home and needed so badly. Could have been an awful trip without their help and great communication! Loved our stay!

We have always enjoyed staying at Kona Reef and have stayed in this unit in the past and many others... love the view and condo the location is prime. This trip however we experienced some roaches, a few the day we got there and a few more during our stay. I understand that it’s a tropical environment however I highly recommend a pest treatment as there is clearly an issue.Again, we love Kona Reef and will be back! Thank you

What a fabulous place and spectacular views. Had everything we needed for our stay. Had all amenities from toiletries, dishes, cookware (altho we didn’t cook). Bed was comfortable. Had everything we needed for the pool and beach: towels, chairs, snorkel equipment cooler tho we had our own. Pool area was great, clean and well maintained. The complex was quiet. Location was great- walking distance to Kailua Kona downtown all shops and restaurants and centrally located for all of our day trips. There was ample parking: surface or garage. Our host was prompt in answering a few questions before we got there. Just the Perfect size for 2, altho it could sleep 4. Would highly recommend this condo and would go back. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing vacation.

The unit is in great condition and the location could not be better. You are feet from the oceans edge and an easy 5-10 minute walk to restaurants and shops. The complex was very quiet and offered great amenities, including a fantastic pool! I would definitely stay here again if I get lucky to visit Kona a second time!

I’m from the Big Island & living out of state. We come yearly and have used 3 other condos in Kona Reef. This condo is the BEST u’ll ever find. CLEAN, super HOST, beach view from EVERY ROOM & BALCONY!! If u’ve ever been to Hawaii u know how important AC Fans are. This unit has AC Fans in EVERY ROOM….Fan even on balcony!!…where we spent most of our time…beach to left, surfers/ships/canoes in front of u. Owners have thought of ALL your needs and it’s there….open a drawer/cupboard inside and outside/balcony is a chest full of beach stuff!! Beach Towels!! Our daughter-in-law did her first snorkeling at Honl’s Beach (we watched her from balcony)…thanks to equipment there!! Beach chairs, matts, Boogie boards, beach umbrellas . Fully equipped kitchen. We will be REPEAT customers!! I have found the perfect place to enjoy coming HOME…and owner is easily assessable for any questions.

Excellent location, beautiful condo, equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers. Fabulous lanai to have coffee in am and overlook ocean in pm. Stunning - I could have sat and watched the waves break on the ocean rocks all day. Highly recommend!

Room was a bit musty smelling when we got there but didn't last long. The only real complaint we had was the toilet paper. It was so thin you could see through it! Other than that fabulous experience.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful oceanfront condo in Kona! The view was stunning — we could listen to the soothing sound of the waves all day and enjoy breathtaking sunsets right from the balcony. The location couldn’t be better, just a short walk to Kona’s shopping and dining areas, yet still peaceful and relaxing.Our host, Bill, was wonderful — very responsive and kind. He even went out of his way to personally drop off an iron when we requested one, which we truly appreciated.The condo had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Overall, it was a perfect vacation spot, and we’d love to come back again soon! Highly recommend!

Wonderful condo and location! Great communication with the host who was very accommodating of our flight schedules. Loved being able to walk into town for shopping and meals.

Just perfect! The space was quiet, clean, and very well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen and beach gear. The bed was so comfortable! We loved sitting on the lanai to watch the sunset and listen to the sounds of waves crashing below. The pool area was never crowded and the grills in the common area were spotless. Parking was easy and the location was convenient.The only issue we had was a problem with a faulty kitchen appliance and it was resolved in less than 24 hours. We were very impressed with the level of responsiveness. The communication ahead of our visit was great too, absolutely no complaints. Highly recommend this location for your next visit to the Kona area!

Beautiful condo with a beautiful view overlooking the ocean. Enjoyed the friendly and respectful neighbors. Surprisingly quiet for such a short walk to downtown. Our host is super responsive, friendly, and helpful. Could not have asked for better!

The location and ocean view were lovely, and the sunsets were truly beautiful. Unfortunately, the unit itself did not live up to the description or the photos. While the ad described it as “beautifully upgraded,” I did not see anything that appeared new or updated. The space felt very tired, musty, and in need of a VERY deep clean.Although the listing noted air conditioning, the windows were so old and dirty that they could not be properly closed, making the A/C ineffective. The bed was comfortable, but the sheets had not been washed and had to be cleaned before use. Most of the light bulbs in the unit were burnt out, and there were no replacements available.The building overall is quite rundown, and the unit needs maintenance and care to match what is being advertised. The view was the highlight, but we would not stay here again.

This place earns a top rating because of its sensational view; cleanliness; furnishings and amenities; superior proximity to shops and dining and owner responsiveness. It has everything we needed and nothing that we didn't need. Everything works, we were comfortable with the sea breeze coming through by day and with the A/C at night. We would definitely stay here again.

Convenient location, enjoyed many activities around Kona, walkable to town. Several great snorkeling beaches in the area. Easily accommodated 6 adults, enjoyed the lanai and views every morning and evening! The pool /hot tub are great. The only issues is the carpet is stained in several spots, some outlets don’t work, and the dishwasher smells musty. But that being said, I would definitely book again. Location made everyone in our group happy!

Had a fantastic stay at Kona Reef. This condo was very clean, well stocked, and really had everything we needed. The location was perfect, and we especially loved sitting on the lanai and looking out at the ocean and listening to the waves. From the moment we booked it to the moment we checked out, communication from the rental agency was excellent. Thank you for the great stay! Will definitely be back next trip to the Big Island!
